I pay an average of $143.71 per MONTH for water. That is just slightly
less than the combined monthly average cost of gas, electricity, and
phone. The water is used by a household of only two people: my wife and
me. Our landscaped area plus the footprint of our house plus paved
areas total less than 0.2 acre (about 800 m2). No swimming pool or
fountains.
